I got a 60. I'm not addicted anymore. http://easyfreesmileys.com/smileys/free-ashamed-smileys-705.gif (http://easyfreesmileys.com/) I used to be more thrilled with it, when we first got it.

[MelodyInTx]

My score was 43. It was actually better than I had expected. But really some of those questions were just funny. :D

[WTMindy]

I can't hear you. I can't hear you!! There are some things I just don't want to know!

[HomeOnTheRanch]

Whew! I'm not addicted...so I'll just spend "a few more minutes" here, okay?

[WTMindy]

OK, I had to check....and I actually had a low score. 35. Phew!! I like being with y'all, but I certainly don't fantasize about being with you, ya know what I mean?!:)

I am a 42 and although I don't fantasize about being with you all, I did dream about Abbeyej once. :o
Karenciavo, who right now should be sleeping, but is online, I should go to bed, right?

Oh man, you got me. I've had several WTM dreams. One about MFS and one about Colleen. I better go change my score.

[jmgconner]

38. It seemed that I either fell in the "all the time - 5 point" category or the "rarely - 1 point" category.

I don't think we should get penalized if we'd rather be here than doing laundry/dishes/vacuuming/scrubbing the tub. :)

You are an average on-line user. You may surf the Web a bit too long at times, but you have control over your usage :D
Some chores can wait, can't they :)

[ArwenA]

I'm impressed! Only 38!!!

I got a 14.

[Volty]

66 - What can I say, I live in China and I'm a stay-at-home person. This is what I like to do.

[GreenKitty]

That was fun...though I was thinking...geeze this is a long test, hurry up and get it over with so I can get back to something else online...:D

[Jenny in Atl]

Got a 13... just average. That's me :p

[Jennifer]

My score was 55. Honestly, I thought it would be higher. I do struggle with limiting my computer time-it's easy to neglect the house and sometimes even my children when I'm online during the day.

I got a 14.

14:confused:

Knowing how similar we are, I really doubt that! :D

[Cadam]

ok, I got a 53. That was actually better than I thought! I'm only a little addicted.

[gardenschooler]

I used to never get on the board in the middle of a school day. I need to be put in time-out!

I think some of my answers were colored by the excitement of this new board and the fact that I just (finally!) started a blog. So I do think about what I'm going to put on my blog.

One thing that always helped me stay off the boards before is just to lurk. If I'm not waiting for an answer to something, or part of a conversation, there's less temptation to stay on.

I expected much worse.
Perhaps I'm just lying to myself and all my answers to the quiz were lies, lies, and more lies :p

I really and truly expected considerably worse than that LOL

and this is what it said: You are an average on-line user. You may surf the Web a bit too long at times, but you have control over your usage.

Whew, sigh of relief! :)

HA! No I did! I don't ignore the house for the internet, I ignore it just to ignore it! Really I had a bunch that just didn't really apply to me it seemed.

Plus it's different over here in the wacky time zone. But I'll tell you, the cell phone was the one I had problems with when I got here. Not having that about drove me over the edge. But what if I had to make a phone call in the middle of being somewhere? What if the husband just left to run an errand? How was I supposed to call him 3 minutes into his trip to add things to his list if he doesn't have a phone? What if I have down time and we're sitting at the park? How am I supposed to call my mother, or Gina, or GASP Jennifer? (Being places without you was just odd in the beginning too!)

But it got easier when I got used to the idea that even if I had the phone, I couldn't call anyone because a) you'd all be asleep and b) we get charged for ANY call we make on the cell phone. Even if it just connects to a answering machine and you hang up right away, it's 15 Yen and then it goes up for every minute from there. I can't imagine what an international call would be!

[Rich with Kids]

Ugh! 63. I'm not surprised. :o

[Sparkle]

I got 32. I think I do spend too much time online though and not enough time doing stuff I should be doing. I am working on cutting back the amount of time I spend online, at least during the day.

[jail warden]

My score was 49, also only an average user. So where do we cross the line!

I am not allowed to open up my computer until late afternoon or I do not get ANYTHING done. So that's my secret to self-control;-)

[Amy in Orlando]

38 here - I thought it would be a lot higher.

[LizzyBee]

That's a relief.

[Krista in LA]

I know I'm addicted.

Okay, I took it anyway. I scored 45.
